Bowser looks great and Dogga with 4 goals is turning it on.

What a difference kicking straight for goal makes!

Dom Viney.

That's harsh on Tyson. Don't think that even he got caught that often.

I do like Viney but he's just trying to do the impossible too often.

I’d like to see Koz get around it more. He just needs to get that spring back in his step. When he’s feeling dangerous opposition clubs get so nervous, and it’s great to watch.

You’re joking right?

He always got caught holding the ball, always.

The key to is and always will be tackling pressure.

Can’t fault much, but Harmes and Viney kill me. 

Neither has learnt to take the first option and Harmes can’t hit a single target. 

Really want to see them lift their game, as they should be copping a bake from Goodwin. 

Loving the forward pressure. Brown’s looked really good and that helps TMac, Fritsch and Jackson get free and hit the scoreboard. Oliver incredible and Lever, Petty and May solid.

For me I think this is Viney trying to find form. He has been injured and not in the team also trying to find match fitness. What a good opportunity to try and find some of that touch. He is getting the ball and once that confidence comes back he will be the bull he was again!

Feel quite bad for Viney. He seems so out of place in this team. Doesn't seem to be "one of the boys" and tries to do too much.

Also getting FAR better looks at goal, looking more shallow and straight as opposed to deep in the pocket.

Hes an absolute mess of a player.

Needs to FRO to Casey and learn to play football. This guy will kills us come finals.

The issue I have is Goodwin is unfortunately too soft to drop him.

Absolutely spot on comments as usual Dazzle

I’m not satisfied, half to go and there were bad habits creeping in at the end of the quarter. We have a big opportunity to get some good form today and get some huge confidence. That will all be undone with a mediocre/poor second half.

Yep spot on. BB50 leading straight rather than 45 degree angles into the pockets....who'd have thought!?

I'm not denying that but my point was that I didn't see him get caught at the same rate that Viney is today.

Anyway, Tyson's been out of the team for three years, so let's get back on topic.

Jones would actually be better than Viney at this point. Smarter with the ball and seems to be more adaptable.

Magnificent second quarter. That being said, confidence can be a double edged sword.

Dare and dash are required to open teams up. We have shown plenty of that. It’s manic, relentless and inventive.

It can also lead teams to unwise and presumptuous disposal. The Fritsch and BBB forward entries are case in point. BBB was right to be dirty on the former for torching him, and then proceeded to lose all moral high ground with that unrealistic shot.

Dogga is having a day out. The opposition isn’t overly organized, but you can only play against the opponent presented to you. He’s also fixed his kicking from beyond 35 out, which is a credit to him.

Bowey is a pleasant surprise. I wasn’t big on blooding more newbies leading into September, but he’s shown poise beyond his years.

Clarry may need to be the medical subbed off alas. He’ll be suffering from leather poisoning. ?

From now on all Melbourne players have to spend 8 hrs on a plane before each game..

FMD Garry Lyon is a miserable campaigner. Was a great player for us but not convinced at all he's still invested in the club. 

 

I can kind of see his point about is it good to be playing in a game like this. I mean today looks cruisy but next week we will come up against the Eagles & it will be a completely different game

    HIGHLIGHTS/LOWLIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Melbourne traveled across the continent to take on the Fremantle Dockers in sweltering conditions at Mandurah south of Perth in a game that delivered the club both its highlight and its lowlight in the first minute.  But first, let’s start by doing away with the usual cliches used in connection with the game. It was just a practice match and the result didn’t matter. Bad kicking is bad football. The game was played in severe heat, the swirly breeze played havoc with both teams resulting in

    TRAINING: Friday 28th February 2025

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock to bring you their observations from today's training session before the Demons head off to Perth for their final Practice Match. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning, not much wind, more than a couple of dozen spectators.  The players were up and about, boisterous and having fun. One of their last drills were three teams competing in a hard at it, handball game in a small area. Goody

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom
